I fear not enough (but I'm not sure) - and since Marciej didn't have access to a MIPS machine he couldn't test everything properly. The patches from Marciej didn't go into the binutils cvs archive, some people were not totally happy with them - and some of his patches have never been commented on :-(. Currently I'm encountering one bug in binutils after the other :-(. I'm in contact with a binutils developer at SGI and hope he fixes those bugs. I've disabled symbol versioning in glibc and managed to come a wee bit further. I'm not sure if the bugs I encountered are in the symbol versioning support or in another part of the linker. But disabling symbol versioning I have one free variable less ;-). Andreas -- Andreas Jaeger SuSE Labs [EMAIL PROTECTED] private [EMAIL PROTECTED]
